I used chicken chorizo and whole milk instead of half and half (what I had on hand) and this dish turned out wonderful! I made it the other morning for my fiance and his fishing buddy and they both ate two slices. It is a large recipe and is even better the next day in my opinion.

I scaled down to 2 wedges and we both thought it was delicious. Loved the spiciness of the chorizo tamed by the potatoes (which I nuked). I'm a big fan of chorizo and manchego, and I thought these ingredients suited the blander (but always delicious!) potato tortilla.

This was a nice alternative frittata. I used Amylu's chicken chorizo sausage and diced my potatoes in small cubes instead of slices. I didn't have a pan I wanted to put in the oven so after sauteing the meat and veggies I added them to an oiled pyrex pan. Then I poured the egg mixture over the meat mixture and baked until set. I only had shredded cheddar, so after the eggs were set I added a little cheese to the top and baked for another minute. Served with sour cream. This was a good dinner and the left overs will make a nice breakfast as well!

Made & reviewed for ZWT 4 ~ Kumquat's Kookin' Kaboodles! We are big fans of frittata in our house (we eat it a lot!) & this was wonderful. I used hot & spicy Merguez in place of the Chorizo but other than that I kept the same ingredients. I cooked it the same way I usually do... cook on low/med 'til almost set then flip & finish cooking the other side. Thanks for a great recipe :)
